Abstract: A portable multiple-component articulating support apparatus for engaging, moving, orientating and manipulating a hand-operated power tool within and throughout a three-dimensional workspace. The apparatus includes a clamping device for demountable engagement with a structural element, an elongate double-link hinge member, a spacer arm having opposite ends adapted for detachable engagement and rotational communication with the clamping device and the double-link hinge member, a vertically disposed pivotably connected counterbalance arm assembly adapted for detachable engagement and rotational communication with the double-link hinge member. The counterbalance arm assembly is equipped with a gas-charged cylinder for balancing the weight of hand-operated power tools. The clamping device, spacer arm, double-link hinge and counterbalance arm assembly are interconnected with removable hinge pins. A tool-mounting bracket is provided for grippingly engaging a power tool. The tool-mounting bracket pivotably engages a power tool-bearing member which slidingly and rotatably communicates with the counterbalance arm assembly.

Title: A machinable austempered cast iron article having improved machinability, fatigue performance, and resistance to environmental cracking and a method of making the same

Granted: 2009-12-22
Abstract: A machinable austempered cast iron article has improved strength, machinability, fatigue performance, and resistance to environmental cracking . A method of making the machinable austempered cast iron article includes austenitizing an iron composition having a substantially pearlitic microstructure in an intercritical temperature range of between 1380~F and 1500 ~F. This produces a ferritic plus austenitic microstructure. The ferrit ic plus austenitic microstructure is quenched into an austempering temperature range of between 575 ~F and 750 ~F within 3 minutes to prevent formation of pearlite. The ferritic plus austenitic microstructure is then austempered in the austempering temperature range of between 575 ~F and 750 ~F to produce a microstructure of a continuous matrix of equiaxed ferrite with islands of austenite. Finally, the microstructure of the continuous matrix of equiaxed ferrite with islands of austenite is cooled to ambient temperature to produc e the machinable austempered cast iron article.

Abstract: Method and apparatus (8) in which a biomass is carried on a substrate which is fluidised. The fluidised substrate has below it a lazer of distributor particles through which the fluidising medium passes prior to contact with the fluidised substrate and biomass associated therewith. The effect of the distributor layer is that the particles damp out excessive turbulence in the fluidising medium thus preventing undue turbulence of the medium within the fluidised layer. This has the advantage of controlling, to some extent, the thickness of the biofilm, which maz be carried by the fluidised substrate particles. The particles may be recycles (1, 2, 5) through the distributor layer where the action of the distributor particles serve to strip exces biofilm from the substrate particles which latter are then returned to the fluidised bed.

Abstract: Speech signal classification and encoding systems and methods are disclosed herein. The signal classification is done in three steps each of them discriminating a specific signal class. First, a voice activity detector (VAD) discriminates between active and inactive speech frames. If an inactive speech frame is detected (background noise signal) then the classification chain ends and the frame is encoded with comfort noise generation (CNG). If an active speech frame is detected, the frame is subjected to a second classifier dedicated to discriminate unvoiced frames. If the classifier classifies the frame as unvoiced speech signal, the classification chain ends, and the frame is encoded using a coding method optimized for unvoiced signals. Otherwise, the speech frame is passed through to the "stable voiced" classification module. If the frame is classified as stable voiced frame, then the frame is encoded using a coding method optimized for stable voiced signals. Otherwise, the frame is likely to contain a non-stationary speech segment such as a voiced onset or rapidly evolving voiced speech signal. In this case a general-purpose speech coder is used at a high bit rate for sustaining good subjective quality .

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting dewatering of asphaltene flocs in a bitumen froth separation vessel. Diluted bitumen froth is separated in the vessel into a low density fraction comprising bitumen and a solvent and a high density fraction, comprising solid particles, water and asphaltene flocs, which flocs comprise an emulsion of asphaltenes and water. A water-asphaltene dispersant is added to the froth prior to adding solvent. The invention also comprises a system, wherein bitumen is delivered to a bitumen froth separation vessel via a froth supply conduit comprising a first injection assembly for injecting the water-asphaltene dispersant, and a second injection assembly for injecting the solvent. The first and second injection assemblies are longitudinally spaced at a distance along the conduit, with the first injection assembly located upstream of the second injection assembly.

Title: Enclosure and method for making an enclosure
Inventor: HOKUM ROBERT T JR
IPC: A47B96/20
Filed: 2005-04-19
Granted: 2008-09-30
Abstract: An enclosure, such as a column for supporting a roof, is defined by plural, adjacent, beveled segments, including two outermost segments, folded and joined. An adhesive is used on the beveled edges to help to hold the shape of the enclosure. In addition, the edges of the outermost segments are configured to interlock so that, with manual force and no tools, the outermost segments can be snapped together, thereby holding the enclosure while the adhesive cures. The configurations on the outermost edges are preferably made of interlocking projections and recesses, at least one of which projections is displaced slightly when the outermost segments are joined. The segments may be formed by milling a single panel while applying tape to the joints between segments to hold them in adjacent relationship. The tape may then be removed after the enclosure is formed. The preferred material for the enclosure is foamed plastic.

Abstract: An improved fluid dispenser specially adapted to provide sample-size amounts of a fluid mixture is shown and described. An automated closure and seal system is provided for the manifold that moves, on command from a controller, from a closed or sealed position thereby limiting exposure of the manifold and fluid outlet nozzles from the ambient atmosphere, to a dispense system where a sample-size container is held up against and engaging a lower end of the manifold for a sealing element disposed on a lower portion of the manifold. When the dispense is complete, the system automatically moves back toward a closed position where the filled container is held open and ready to be removed by a technician before it is capped and labeled. An improved shelving system is also provided for housing a large quantity of different ingredients conveniently within a relatively compact cabinet thereby making the system suitable for a retail environment. An improved method of preparing a sample quantity of a fluid mixture is also disclosed.

Title: Polyhydroxyalkanoate nerve regeneration devices
Inventor: TERENGHI GIORGIO
IPC: A61L31/16
Filed: 2004-08-20
Granted: 2011-01-18
Abstract: Nerve regeneration devices are provided with improved rates of axonal regeneration, and methods for their manufacture are also disclosed. The devices are formed from a biocompatible, absorbable polymer, known as poly-4~hydroxybutyrate. Growth factors, drugs, or cells that improve nerve regeneration may be incorporated into the devices. The devices are administered by implantation preferably without the use of sutures. In one aspect, the device is in the form of a wrap that can be used easily to capture the severed nerve bundle ends during surgery, and formed into a conduit in situ. If desired, the edges of the wrap can be melted together to seal the conduit, and hold it in place. A major advantage of the device is that it does not need to be removed after use since it is slowly degraded and cleared by the patient's body, yet remains functional in situ beyond the time required for nerve regeneration, and helps exclude scar tissue. The device also degrades in a cell-friendly manner, and does not release highly acidic or inflammatory metabolites. Furthermore, the device is flexible, strong, does not crush the regenerating nerve, is easy to handle, reduces surgical time by eliminating the need to harvest an autologous graft, and allows the surgeon to repair the nerve without a prolonged delay.
